This study examines how religious organizations in Kediri; Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), Muhammadiyah, Lembaga Dakwah Islam Indonesia (LDII), and Wahidiyah; integrate local values in responding to religious tensions and conflicts in digital spaces. Using a cyberphenomenology approach, the study combines phenomenology and technology studies to understand how social media interactions shape social experiences and the religious identities of these organizations. The research focuses on the genealogy of religious tolerance constructed through digital content, as well as their strategies for addressing sensitive issues such as provocation, hate speech, and misinformation. The findings indicate that social media is used to reinforce local values such as guyub and rukun, which emphasize the importance of interreligious harmony. When confronting provocation, these organizations do not merely issue clarifications; they also prioritize constructive dialogue to promote peaceful and tolerant religious teachings. From a cyberphenomenological perspective, digital space is understood as a social experience that enables the internalization and expression of religious values in more contextual and contemporary ways. The study also reveals that global events and religious controversies influence local dynamics of tolerance, while social media functions as a platform connecting Kediri’s local experiences with broader global challenges. This study underscores social media as a new public sphere for reducing religious tensions and fostering a more moderate and inclusive religious consciousness through constructive digital interaction.
